Serendipity and Artemis
Posted By drsao on October 25, 2011
Life is like a box of chocolates…..YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING! LOL
Grandangel Sarah has Latin Club after school today and they can dress as a Greek Goddess (or God if they are not female) if they wish. Sarah just made arrangements to go to LC last night, so we have been engaging in some LAST MINUTE COSTUME CREATION.
The serendipity part? Sarah stepped on a plastic hanger this morning and the RESULT turned into her bow!! I wrapped some twine around each end of the broken hanger and secured it with double knots and then wrapped the ends with rubber bands! lol. I told Sarah that she probably wouldn’t be doing much HUNTING with this one today…:) HM….I doubt if they had blue bows either – but oh well, this is the NEW ARTEMIS!
Sarah's BOW for ARTEMIS
Since she won’t be doing any serious FOR REAL hunting, Sarah is taking her own hunting props.
Artemis couldn't really shoot this cute little fox!
So here is the rest of the costume….
My skirt - that she will secure with a belt!
Sarah's white sweater and Sister Leanna's HUNTING NECKLACE!
Sarah made the arrows
One more thing - a last minute bag for the arrows
TA DA - ready for the hunt
SO – this was the CHALLENGE for the day – what challenges are you accepting today?
And – just in case you wanted to know WHO ARTEMIS WAS….here you go! 🙂
ARTEMIS was the great Olympian goddess of hunting, wilderness and wild animals. She was also a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of the girl child up to the age of marriage. Her twin brother Apollon was similarly the protector of the boy child. Together the two gods were also bringers of sudden death and disease–Artemis targetted women and girls, and Apollon men and boys.
In ancient art Artemis was usually depicted as a girl dressed in a short knee-length chiton and equipped with a hunting bow and quiver of arrows.
